Monday, March I, 193f PIONEER LANDMARK PASSES LEBANON The first city map of Lebanon and its original eeds given in 1855 by the founder, Jeremiah Ralston, were found this week in the attic of the old Ralston home, above, which is being razed. Although long abandoned as their home, the property is still owned by one of the family, Hugh Kirk Patrick, great grandson of the founder. Though countless rent als the valuable papers remained intact and by chance were recognized and saved from a trash fire through the alertness of a city fireman. Wreckers Raze Pioneer Ralston Home at Lebanon Lebanon The old Ralston home, site of Lebanon's first per manent dwelling, is being de molished this week. Many have visited the historic corner at Park and Maple streets to have a last look at the residence of the founding family. Although -now sadly worn and weather beaten, It was once a gracious center of community life where notables from far and near were enter tained. On Wednesday when boxes of papers were being removed from the attic an interesting doc ument was retrieved by Fireman George Wilcox just before it was cast into a trash fire. It was the original plat of seven blocks given by Jeremiah Ralston for founding the city of T nhsnnn Thp si streets he planned still bear the names he gave them: Main, Second, Ash, Sherman, Grant and Maple. The : plot of ground from the Ralston donation lano claim memoes me present four city blocks west of Main between Oak and Ash, and the thren blocks west of Second afreet between Sherman and Oak. The document was signed by both Jeremiah Ralston and his wife, Jermima on June 1, 1855. The frame structure now ne-: Ing razed replaces Ralston's origi nal home, an imposing two-story structure built of small, perfect ly matched logs with front pillars of hand-hewen timbers. When the Ralston wagon train arrived here in September, 1847, the only sign of white men's habita tion was a low log cabin marking the claim of William Hawk and William Smith. Ralston bought their holdings, staked the corners of his dona tion land claim and set about provinding a suitable home lor Woodburn Cubs j Will Celebrate I WOODBURN About 170 Tub Scouts, parents and guests were present for the annual Blue and Gold banquet Friday, Feb. 26, at the American Legion hall, cele brating the 44th birthday anni versary of the Boy Scouts of America.

March Comes in On Mild Tone By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Except for locally heavy snow fall and some freezing rain in the Eastern Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley regions, the coming of March had little of the "like a lion" aspect that is supposed to guarantee mild weather late in the month. But that could change by night fall. A cold wave was forecast for the Dakotas. Nebraska, East ern Montana, Minnesota and Iowa, with temperatures ranging from 10 above in Southern Iowa to 15-20 below zero in North Dakota. The much colder weather will move into Kansas, Missouri, Wis consin and Illinois Monday night and Tuesday, the forecast said. Temperatures around the coun try early Monday were mostly seasonable, although ranging down to Grantsburg, Wis.'s 10 degrees. It was near freezing in much of the Midwest, well above Uut along the Atlantic Seaboard, in the 'teens and 20s in the Northern Plains and Rocky Mountains. Virginia and the Carolinas also had snow at the higher elevations but showers elsewhere. Snow on the eastern slopes of the Rockies and the Northern Plains ranged up to Moufcraft, Wyo's three inches.
